在过去二十年中,中国的珠江三角洲已经成为“世界工厂”。然而现在却有成千上万家工厂,打算从这里迁走。受困于高涨的成本和日益严格的监管,这一地区在与亚洲其它制造中心(也包括中国部分地区)的竞争中渐感吃力。新的劳动法、外资企业加重的纳税负担,以及更为严格的环保法规和日益走强的人民币,这一切都在挤占玩具、服装和家具等劳动密集型行业内中国公司的利润空间。 In the past two decades, the Pearl River Delta in China has become the “world factory.” However, there are now tens of thousands of factories that intend to move from here. Tucked at rising costs and increasing regulatory scrutiny, the region is struggling with competition from other manufacturing centers in Asia, including parts of China. The new labor law, the increased tax burden on foreign-owned enterprises, and stricter environmental regulations and the growing renminbi are all squeezing the profit margins of Chinese companies in labor-intensive industries such as toys, clothing and furniture.
